Abstract
The uncertainty of collaborative environments in Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) projects makes the design of services dedicated to professionals of the construction sector particularly challenging. Our work - still in an early stage - introduces a method enabling the design of such services, from business analysis to implementation, answering the needs of specific projects’ situations. This method is supported by a toolset and based on Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) approach. We illustrate it by a case study scenario based on the particular requirements within sustainable building design projects.
